A Reading railroad man recently
SAID that few knew how greatly the
free pass was used to influence traffic,
for very often large shipper of grain
or pork would be controlled in his
choice of roads by the possession of a
pass of one of them. Men, and good
business men, too, said he, ..will
often pay a higher rate for freight
simply because the road over which
they ship has sent them a yearly pass.
Ii is an open secret among railway
men that the Grand Trunk captured
very large business from Chicago east
by tempting shippers with passes. /

sands, shippers of thousands of bushels

New York and back was refused TO
them. The whole business has been
demoralized by this custom, so that now
in the west man who charters half
car thinks that free transportation for
himself ought to be thrown in. i came
through on the Grand Trunk from Chi
cago to Boston once, and there were
nine through passengers. The con-
ductor said it must be profitable bust

IF there is member of the ex-
change who doesn't carry yearly pass,
or who can't get one" said the pro-
duce-exchanger, lit is because he don

Getting Ahead of the Lawyer.

In a Vermont county court an I'M
promising looking witness was being
badgered by clean-cut lawyer, who
stands high in his profession, and who,
although well advanced in years and
completely bald, prides himself on his
youthful appearance and personal pres
ence.
The point aimed ut was to determine
which of two barns, one Of which was
destroyed by fire, was covered by in
surancc; and the method of the wit
ness in distinguishing them aS the
'.old" and the new" barn caused the
lawyer to branch out in series of con
fusing questions, winding up with
What is the age of the one you de-
fine as the old barn, aud what are
the distinguishing marks that attest its
age?' ..Nall, said the badgercd

What Our Statesmen Drink.

The President and his official adj
mirers are not a unit upon the drink
question. Mr.. Cleveland likes glass
of plebeian beer, but since his in
creasing stoutness he has used it in
very moderate quantities. He has no
love for the stronger drinks, and con-
fines himself almost exclusively to malt
liquors. Mrs. Cleveland is a strict
temperance woman, and does not
drink even the light wines. Secretary
Bayard likes red wines, and a glass of
good old Burgundy is his delight.
Secretary Manning, like the President.
is fond of malt liquors, with an occa-
sional glass of light wines. Secretary
Whitney's wine is champagne. He
sips all the regular drinks on the
table, but invariably saves himself for
the champagne. Whitney has grown
remarkably stout within the last few
months. Certainly no man in the
cabinet has been SO high liver as he.
Secretary Endicott treats his aristo-
cratic stomach with choice selection
OF old and rare wines. He is a CON
nolsSeur and his Judgment is probably
second only to that of Justice GRAY of
the Supreme Court and Senator Hale.
both Of whom are experts. Both of
these gentlemen, however, paled before
President Arthur of whom cele-
brated wine merchant said: He is
the finest Judge of Madeiras in the
country, and his opinion upon other
wines is almost as good" Secretary
Lamar hasn't any particular liquor.
He does not linger over the wine cup,
neither does Postmaster-General Villas.
but neither will shy glass of rare
vintage. Accomplishment Garland is
fond of neither wine nor malt liquors.
He drinks plain whisky, with very
little water in it.-BoSton TrareHer.

A divorce was granted to the wife of
a. Z. Luse, of the firm of Marder, Luse
u CO., type founders of Chicago, in the
Circuit Court at Charlottesville, last
Tuesday. The plaintiff was awarded
$4,000 alimony, SO, 900 to be paid within
ten days and the balance August1 /, 1887,
and the restoration of her maiden name.
The pair were married only about fifteen
months ago. This may explain the I'M
usual urgency of the bills sent to pur-
chasors lately. If Mrs Marder should
follow suit il would break up all the
printers in the state. The HERALD is
printed with ink bought of Marder,
Luse x Co, and If they take $4,000
worth of allmony out of it, it NAV get

A large boarding house of the Colby
Iron Mining Company, at Bessemer,
Michigan, was totally destroyed by fire
early last Wednesday morning The
building was entirely of wood and very
dry. The flames spread so rapidly that
the town was not fairly reused before it
was burned to the ground. There were
twenty-one workmen boarding in the
house and at last accounts ten or twelve
were missing. The remains were found
and buried last Thursday. The cause
of the fire is not known.

to hard work today. The game was

loosely at times. but braced up and
played great ball at others. Andrews,

for Memphis, and Pujol, Klusmsn,
Wells and Cartwright for New Or

opposing pitchers, and both pitched
wonderful game. Two safe
hits off Powell and FIVE
actual hits off Black was the total
hitting. The errors were about the
same, but Memphis made theirs at the
worst times, while New Orleans made
its hits count most. What about won
